Giveaway! KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Mixer ($340 value)

New crayon colors? Designer pain colors? Nope! Just a few of the color choices you’ll have if you win the 5-Quart KitchenAid Stand Mixer I’m giving away this month!

When I cook, I always seem to have no less than six different things happening at the same time: two pots on the stove, something in the oven, dough rising on the counter, kids grabbing onto my legs, and dogs scouring the floor for crumbs. A stand mixer can make your life a lot easier when you’re hands are full of other stuff.

I got my KitchenAid mixer as a wedding gift, and it’s still going strong after seven years of hard use. I just have the plain white one, but the winner of this giveaway gets to pick their own color. (I’m kinda partial to the Aqua Sky personally)

How the Giveaway Works:

This giveaway is sponsored by me. Yup, that’s right– I’m buying this prize myself. It’s my way of saying “thank you” to everyone who has been such a support and encouragement to this blog.

So, what’s the catch you may ask? Well, it’s pretty simple– you need to be a subscriber of The Prairie Homestead to enter. That’s it! That is the only mandatory entry, but you do have the option for four other bonus entries after you complete that one.

What’s this Rafflecopter Thingie?

Because giveaways like this generate so many entries, it is absolutely impossible to manage them all through simple comment entries.

If you aren’t comfortable using it, that’s totally cool–you are in no way obligated to enter the giveaway. But please don’t send me any nasty emails, m’kay? 😉

I really like your site and blog. I just started our little homestead on 15 acres. We started with three goats (kids) bottle fed them from a day old. This year we added 22 chickens in quite a variety. We love it! Many plans for the place and a lot of research and learning along the way.

I have always wanted one of these Kitchenaid mixers. I have been asking my husband for four years and plan on asking again this Christmas.

Excellent Information. I try to read all your blogs because your information is so helpful. I got chickens in April and was very excited, but as you found out the people at the store do not know much more than us. I bought 8 chickens and was told that they were all chickens except my 2 straight runs could go either way. Well out of 8 birds I got 4 roosters. My silkies that were suppose to be hens, both were roosters. I was hoping for a brooder. And the other two roosters were New Hampshire reds. I wound up selling 3 of them and got 3 more hens, and since then got 3 more. I love that I did not have a bug problem this year, but my wife does not like that there is poop all over the yard. Thanks for all you info and keep on informing us newbees on homesteading.;-)

What a wonderful gesture on your part– I love your blog and you as well as all the information you’ve passed have inspired my husband and I to turn our small Village acre lot into a homestead proud and true. While Village ordinances prohibit us from having animals ( livestock) we are already well on our way with an established fruit orchard ( apples, pears, cherries, peaches) our own grape vine( both purple and white concord) as well as two berry patches ( strawberry and black raspberry) and 3 vegetable gardens. I used to do raised bed and now that we’ve been able to tame a quarter of our little acre that once was swamp , we just might try that again. Thanks again ever so much for the inspiration. I hope I win . I don’t have one but could sure use one for my sour dough bread making venture. God bless you.

I’m an “old homesteader” but really enjoy your website. I have learned many new things from your site and your links. You can teach even an “old dog” new tricks. Thank you for the time you spend on research, doing, etc and sharing that information with us. We raise pigs, chickens, and are having new experiences with milk goats, a calf, and our donkey. Life is never dull on the farm.
I would love to have a Kitchenaid mixer expecially as my youngest daughter is learning how to make bread, I keep hoping Santa will hide one under the tree for me. Have a great Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Thanks so much for doing this. I especially appreciate that there are ways to enter that don’t involve social media as I don’t use/belong to any but love your blog and subscribe to it. Thanks for all you do!

Hi jill, I am a subscriber but my email freezes up when I try to click through. You are on my favourites bar! Thanks for all the great tips! I picked up some Hobby farm home mags at a library sale and was so excited to see your column! Thanks for being open about your faith in Jesus also. Your friend in Canada, Amy

I put aqua sky, but now I’m loving the gloss cinnamon red and the bayleaf-oh my! What a great torquoise. I’ve been wanting to add a strong torquoise to my kitchen but haven’t found anything that holds a candle to that bayleaf colour! In a perfect world, we could have four different colours to accessorize for each season:)

Fun give away–thank you, Looking for colors really forced me to think about what colors I want to use in my new kitchen (still under construction!), I chose the Buttercup, but some of the blues were most tempting…:)

What a lovely gift Jill! I know I am far away but I am still saying hats off to you for your kindness and while I may not be eligible for the mixer price I am getting real good stuff on your site. Loving every minute of it. Thank you very much. Continue in His service Jill.

I realize so many people have already said this, but, Thank You! I too love your blog and all the information you have shared. I live on less than 1/3 acre in town, but would so love to make my place a homestead. I love your ideas about homesteading no matter what size place you have or where you live.

Thank you for doing this and giving people a chance to win something so nice and needed. I choose the color Citrus, I love bright yellow colors in my sunflower kitchen (work in progress). Good luck to all!

Oh so excited for the chance to win!! I have been scrimping and saving to buy this mixer and planning on it come January! But what a blessing it would be to win !!
Thank you for the opportunity!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!

My heart has been broken since I gave up my kitchen aid 4 years ago when our jobs with the Army moved us to Virginia. What a very nice thing you are doing over the holidays! Happy Thanksgiving and I hope the winner LOVES it!

I love getting your newletters. Lots of good ideas to do for helping me on my path to going “GREEN”. I’m getting chickens soon and have been saving your tips on care, cleaning coop and making homemade food. Thanks alot. Keep up the good, hard work!

Thanks for this great giveaway! But I am very disappointed to read that I am being discriminated since I am not eligible for this price because I don’t live in the US of A or Canada. Can you tell me why I cannot win this price? I would like to pay for the shipping costs should it be the only obstacle for the chance of winning.
I just don’t understand.
I love your blog but not your policy.
Merry Christmas anyway.
Judith

Hi Judith–
I’ve actually updated the rules. If someone from outside the US or Canada wins, I will send them an Amazon gift card for the value of the mixer. The reason I had that rule in place prior, was b/c shipping costs are so outrageous. But, the gift card enables us to work around that. So feel free to enter!

Hi Jill, I love your elegant solution for all your blogreaders from abroad! I already suspected it was to do with the huge shippingcosts. I am sure this will delight many others as well.
Thanks again, and I really love your blog. Very inspirational.
Judith
